Co-op of the Day: 90 8th Avenue
What’s not to like about this two-bedroom co-op at 90 8th Avenue in Park Slope? Besides the fact that there’s only one bathroom, not much. It’s about as classic as a prewar co-op gets. We’ll see how the asking price of $785,000 flies though. The apartment directly upstairs sold for just $580,000 three years ago…

We’ll see how the asking price of $785,000 flies though. The apartment directly upstairs sold for just $580,000 three years ago and the C-line on the 8th floor just closed for $785,000 last month, but who knows what kind of shape those places were in. Think the sellers will get their price?

The Brown Harris Stevens website says this coop has a signed contract. It did not indicate the final price.
ps. 321
Just saw this place at 209 Lincoln over the weekend, and it seemed pretty comparable to me: http://www.tbelknap.com. It was listed at $719K. It’s PS 282, but otherwise pretty similar. What’s the diff?
I think most people who buy these 2 bedroom/1 bath apartments don’t usually have a brood of kids. Often they are a couple without kids and want to have an apartment with an office/guest room that they can use for the kid once they have one, and only until the kid gets to be old enough that they outgrow the space and have to sell. Thats kind of why the pictures in the sales listings often show one room with a crib or toddler-sized bed in it. Time to move onwards.
In any event, people ‘shoehorn’ themselves into apartments because they want to live in the freaking city. I dread – DREAD – the day I have to travel over an hour each way to work, where I have to get into a car a drive to pick up a carton of milk or loaf of bread. I can live in a 4-bedroom house with a nice yard for what I pay each month to live in this city – but we shoehorn ourselves in order to be able to be here.
who wans to move into this apartment with children? what are people thinking today? this is a city apartment for a single person or a childless couple. if you want to have children move to the country where you can have some space. honestly, this trend of cramming children into one or two bedroom co-ops in expensive neighborhoods is ridiculous. I mean if you are really rich buy a brownstone and send the kids to berkely carroll or wherever. if you are middle class, why are you even considering shoe-horning yourself into a coop in Park Slope? are you mad? there are so many better options. really, force yourself to consider them. snap out of it!
yeah that dudes outta here
I think stoner should do away with the bold type names, everyone should be “guest” because half the blog is spent discussing who is who and who is what and who’s on first it is SO BORING to those of us who here to discuss real estate.
the worst offender is that man or woman biff, ugh!
UMMM….8:26, this is old news. Biff is Heather, Nokilissa, Bxgrl and probably some others we don’t know about it. It came out in a multiple day insanity fest with Biff talking to himself with some of his other registered guest logins.
Same with Daveinbedstuy/Aussie/Bold Type Guest.
Notice how they’ve accomplished the exact opposite of what they hoped…the faded type guests are now more respected since every registered guest is suspect to be an alias for either Biff or Dave trying to re-enter the bstoner comments section.
And you KNOW they are posting as guests too…!
8:30, my maintenance is 250. other than that, you’re about right on although it was a bit more than 250K. and i bought in late 2006…
studios can still be bought for less than it costs to rent one…
i’m not saying 1650 for a studio isn’t retarded, but you do realize that the average rental of a studio in manhattan has now topped 2000, right?
you all need to make yourselves familiar again with 2008 rental prices and not what you are paying after living in a place for 10 years…
this city is EXPENSIVE.
average manhattan 1 bedroom rental has now surpassed 3K a month for a doorman building.
